“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is the same with the conscious retention of dreams in general. You are indeed exercising what amounts to an added ability. You are learning to manipulate within other dimensions of consciousness. Automatic controls are therefore used. (Voice somewhat deeper.) You proceed as your abilities and control develop.

Suggestion given before sleep will greatly add to your chances of conscious projections from the dream state. It is not necessary, basically speaking, that you notice some small incongruous detail in order to realize while dreaming that you are dreaming. There is however one good method to use. The suggestion “I will realize while dreaming that I am dreaming” can also be used, as another method, or both of these may be utilized together.

If by chance you blunder (smile, eyes open) into my territory, then I will know it, and seek you out. Whenever you find yourself in any potentially dangerous dream situation during a projection, immediately terminate the dream. You will then return to an ordinary state of consciousness.

Do not touch another figure if you have reason to believe that it is a traveling form like your own. You will have to learn to distinguish. When you realize that you are dreaming, and if in the dream you are with another person, then tell him that you are both dreaming, and note his response.

They are adopted to meet the particular requirements of the environment in which they are used. In some dreams individuals see what they imagine to be the image of their own dead self. Instead they have been projecting, and see one of their own projected forms that they have themselves just vacated.

These forms do exist, as your physical body does. They are fused however with your inner self. They are not physical, but they do exist in the whole package of the self, perhaps like the skins of an onion, you see. They are merely the forms that your own consciousness takes in different dreams.

The perceptions of those who exist within them are basically different than your own, and many of them will not perceive you. Those who do are apt to be projecting also, you see. I told you that if you can you should mention the fact that you are dreaming. If the other individual realizes this also, then you are both projecting. He may on the other hand be projecting and not be aware of the fact.
